Is Harry Styles Still Dating Taylor Swift’s Best Friend?

By George Martin 11/03/2025

Harry Styles and Taylor Swift’s relationship may have gone out of style years ago, but it seems like the Sign of the Times singer has found love once again with one of his ex’s closest friends, Zoë Kravitz. And for those wondering if this newly reported couple, who have been romantically linked together since August this year, is still together: Yes, yes, they are, per reports.

The latest reports about the same are from almost three weeks ago, October 16, when the pair was spotted leaving a recording studio together in New York City. The fan-favorite stars headed to Omen in SoHo for dinner from there, as seen in the snips from the incident shared by TMZ. Both of them were clad in black ensembles and long coats.

Just a few days prior to this outing, The Sun claimed that Kravitz, 36, will reportedly be staying at the former One Direction member’s, 31, London home while working on an upcoming film. A source claimed to the outlet, 

They’ve had an amazing summer together, and things are only getting more serious between them. Harry and Zoe have a real connection — this is love. It’s a real honeymoon period, and they’re barely apart.

Reports prior to this first sparked dating rumors for this couple in August, when the two were snapped walking arm-in-arm in a flirty Rome outing. That same month saw them “having a lot of fun” during a PDA-packed date night in London as well. These outings continued in New York City in September, too, as sources claimed this new relationship was more than just a fling, with the pair having “gone from 0 to 60.” (See Page Six.)

Taylor Swift Reportedly Doesn’t Mind Harry Styles Dating Zoë Kravitz






Before sparking romance reports with each other, Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz dated multiple other A-listers. While the former’s long list of ex-lovers includes Olivia Wilde, Kendall Jenner, and most importantly, his current reported girlfriend’s close pal, Taylor Swift, the latter ended her engagement to Channing Tatum last fall. Prior to that, the actress was married to Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2021.

Coming back to the fact that Styles and Swift were also lovers before, one might think that the Look What You Made Me Do singer could be penning another song about her ex moving on with her friend. However, new reports claim that that’s just not the case, as Travis Kelce’s fiancee ostensibly “doesn’t have an issue” with the As It Was singer dating her good friend Kravitz. A source claimed to Us Weekly,

Their relationship was so long ago. Harry has moved on, and so has Taylor. They’re friendly when they see each other, which isn’t often but does happen occasionally. It’s all in the past now.

For those who might not know, Kravitz and Swift have established a pretty strong and close bond over the years, with shared experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in London and mutual admiration for each other’s work and character (see Parade).

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles’ Relationship Wasn’t Ideal, But They Have “Really Matured Since”

More than a decade ago, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift were the talk of the town while being involved in a romantic relationship publicly from 2012 to 2013. At the time, she reportedly authorized a source to speak to Vanity Fair in March 2013 about their relationship, who claimed that Styles “chased” her for a year and “wore her down.”

The source claimed, “He was all, like, ‘You’re amazing – I want to be with you. I want to do this.” But after he texted Swift to warn her about a photo of him kissing a friend goodbye, their relationship deteriorated. The source said of the picture, “[They were] making out, like, with their hands all up in each other’s hair.”

It concluded with the Bad Blood singer eventually ending it, but the Falling singer reportedly continued to pursue her until they reconciled. However, this time around, she had trouble trusting him. As the source explained about their relationship and Swift’s thought process, 

The whole time, she says she feels like he’s looking at every girl.

Ultimately, by 2013, things had ended for good. Two years later, in March 2015, the billionaire singer spoke about how her song Out of the Woods from her album 1989 captured her feelings during this period, though she didn’t name Styles. The Enchanted singer candidly confessed back then (via Elle Magazine),

The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety. Because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. And it always felt like, ‘Okay, what’s the next roadblock? What’s the next thing that’s gonna deter this? How long do we have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up?’ 

I think a lot of relationships can be very solid, and that’s kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy, but that’s not always what you get. And it doesn’t mean that it’s not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that’s fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility.

Since then, though, both the Watermelon Sugar singer and the You Belong With Me singer have truly moved on in their respective lives and relationships. In fact, a source even claimed to Entertainment Tonight in March 2021 that the two’s relationship has significantly evolved over the years, saying, 

[They] have been cordial and fine for a while now. [Taylor and Harry] have both really matured since they dated and respect each other’s careers.

So while their relationship wasn’t initially the most ideal one, as mistakes from the young love birds ended up dooming their bond within less than a year, both Harry Styles and Taylor Swift have really matured since and have come a long way. 

As they currently continue to be linked to their respective lovers, i.e., Styles with Zoë Kravitz and Swift with Travis Kelce, we just truly hope both the singers end up finding true love somewhere along the way.
